stromung highflow cat vs random tech highflow cat

are there any difference between the two? their price is very similar, random techs are CARB legal (I think) and I am not sure about the stromung. Is one better than the other, or there are no difference at all?

I've never really heard a debate over what high flow cat is better than the other. So I'd say just go with the one with the better price.

yes random tech is carb legal. A lot of people seem to trust random-tech; I haven't heard too much about stromung's.

You can get virtually any size cat you want (inlet/outlet/body length) from Random. You'll pay for it, though. I used a Dynomax on a 200bhp Neon and had no problems whatsoever with the quality of it. Jegs sells them exceptionally cheaply. Like $55 for a 2-1/4" in & out 14" cat. Weld your own bung, of course.
